Greetings great people of steemit!!
Onces again it's a new week of ssc, and a new theme have been announced by @jabird. This week theme is "Spring, whatever is meant to you". The good news is I don't have to come out my own theme, the bad news is I never exprience Spring before! In malaysia we only have one season, Equatorial climate. It's means we exprience summer whole year long , and if we are lucky this hot humid land will be blessed by a cooling rainy season. As that being said, Spring to me only reflects fresh vegetable. For this post I decided to make a pizza featuring some fresh vegetables, that mean good news to my vegetarian readers, it's vegetarian!!
I present to you: PIZZA WITH SPRING VEGETABLE

And now the ingredients

For the topping: Thinly sliced eggplant, courgettes, chille sauce, black pepper, thyme, cheddar, Parmesan,Spring onions.
For the sauce: trimmings of eggplant, courgette, carrot, onions, cherry tomato, thyme, tomato purée, sugar, salt.
To make the sauce I simple stew all the ingredients for an hour until soft and tender. While hot, I blended the mixture in a blender until it becames a smooth sauce. To add a stronger tomato flavour, I add some tomato purée into the mixture. The mixture is passed through the chinois to get rid of lumps.
Pizza dough ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, milk, yeast
Constructing

Flatten the dough into a round shape and let it rise about 30 minute. I then gently press some air out from the middle to create a thicker crust at the edge.

Spread a layer of the sauce

And this is my secret to a super charred and chrispy bottom without a pizza stone or pizza oven. The secret is I used a preheated cast iron. Once the cast iron is super hot, I gently slide the pizza onto it, I know when it's ready when the bottom has a nice spots or char. Next is to melt and cook the topping, for this process I simple use a oven with a convection fun focusing heat from on top.

I like that actually: "Spring to me only reflects fresh vegetable" totally!
And it's funny I didn't really consider that some places don't really have a spring lol. My bad :(
Still... It forces you to use your imagination haha
Nice job with this 1. fresh veggies! And love the drizzle of chilli sauce!
